A new urgency confronts Africa in a global environment characterised by shifting alliances, multipolarity and disorder. This presents Africa with an opportunity to reinvent itself and help redefine the new landscape of global leadership, peace and security. During this year’s African Leadership Centre, King’s #AfricaWeek on the theme: Resourcing African Agency: Priorities, Innovation, and Preparedness.
